Installing the Official MCP SDK
On your Ubuntu system, since we already installed Python 3.12 and uv, we can start by installing the official MCP SDK for Python after creating a project directory and a virtual environment:
# Create a project directory
mkdir -p $HOME/workspace/mcp-server
cd $HOME/workspace/mcp-server
# Initialize a new uv project
# with a specified Python version (3.12)
uv init --bare --python 3.12
# Add MCP and its cli as dependencies
uv add "mcp[cli]==1.26.0"
